Evolution Bikes was founded in 2007
We started out in a small shop in Kyffin Square with just one work stand and a small selection of tools, offering bike servicing to the local bike riding community. Our reputation grew quickly, our customer base expanded, and we invested our revenue in providing a greater range of bike brands and other riding accessories to meet a steadily growing demand. In those early days most weekends were spent improving our shop layout and design, something we still enjoy doing today.
After only a year, despite having expanded to fill empty space in an adjoining store, we had outgrown our original premises. Therefore we relocated to a bigger building around the corner on the High Street. We moved on a Sunday, the only day the shop was closed. We took a simple approach, what wouldn’t fit in the van was either carried or wheeled in a barrow to our new home. It was a long day but we did it, and we were ready to open again the next day.
Fast forward another nine years and it was time to move again
We had long been looking for an edge of town location with parking, and we found an old motorbike shop in Cyttir Lane. The building was just what we were looking for, a convenient location with considerably more space to house our expanding stock. We decided to buy this property to give us sole control of the redevelopment and design of this exciting new space. Work started on this new store in March 2017 and within only five weeks we were ready to move in. This time it took a little longer and we needed a larger van, we certainly had acquired a lot of stock during those years on the High Street!
Since moving to Cyttir Lane we haven’t looked back. Our location on the edge of town provides a safe area for customers to try out any of our bikes on the quiet back lanes behind the store. We have an extensive range of electric bikes which are growing in popularity, and this is attracting a whole new populaton of customers keen to get out and experience the freedom of travel on two wheels. The interior of the shop has been designed with care to provide a pleasing environment in which shoppers can easily find what they are looking for. There is also free parking on site.
Customer satisfaction is central to our business ethos, we love nothing better than seeing a happy customer leave with a brand new bike or take one home following a professional service. Bikes are our passion, we all ride here, whatever the model of bike or terrain, we understand the simple joy of riding and it gives us great pleasure to be able to give that to our customers too.
